Jaguar Custom Chevy Conversion V8 Lt4 5.7 Liter / 6 Speed Manual T56 on 2040-cars
El Cajon, California, United States
|
Flawless, one of a kind Jaguar conversion. The Jag is running a custom built LT4 Chevy 5.7 liter engine with a 6 speed manual T56 transmission. This high performance combination makes the car extremely rare in the world of Jaguar Chevy conversions. The car is also desirable because it is a 1986 XJ6 body with a 1973 XJ12 chassis and VIN number. The 1973 VIN number makes the car smog legal in California. Buyer should verify smog restriction in their state. I have spent the last 12 year customizing and perfecting the car's setup. The work and the car have been a labor of love for me. This is a unique opportunity to purchase a completely sorted and rare Jag Chevy conversion with tens of thousands dollars invested and countless man hours. I’m 75 years old and I have honestly lost interest. My hope is the car will go to a deserving gear head. The car is pristine condition no dings, no rust, and always garaged. Please no dealer inquiries. Engine: The original engine was a LT1. It was putting out 164 horses to the rear tires when dynoed. I wasn't really happy with the power. So I pulled the engine and upgraded it to an LT4 aluminum heads, intake manifold and installed Chevy Hot Cam. After the upgrade the car dynoed at 281HP to the rear tires. T56 six speed transmission up the Dyno to the rear wheels to 289HP. The cars top speed is roughly 150mph. See Dyno PDF Transmission: The car has a professionally installed 6 speed T56 manual transmission. I did all of the interior modifications necessary to accommodate the clutch peddle and the gear shift. I wanted to insure the integrity of the original Jaguar interior. The transmission can handle 450 FTLB. of torque. The tires can be smoke in 1st and 2nd gear. Maybe 3rd I have not tired. Exhaust: The Exhaust was designed and installed by Ed Hanson. The go to man in San Diego for Hot Rod exhaust systems. The exhaust growl is that unique V8 growl. My ex wife thought the car was too loud. I think it is perfect. Anyone that knows cars can tell what it is when they hear it. Click the link to hear and see video of car: http://youtu.be/TGYWzsR8jDg Body: Custom paint was done five years ago. The cost was roughly $5000. There are not dings, dents or scratches. The car was always garaged and rarely driven. Please Feel to ask any question. I am a happy to answer any questions and talk cars by phone. The car can be test driven by appointment at my house. Buyer is responsible for any delivery transportation. The car will remain for sale until a 25% deposit in the form of cashiers check is delivered to me. Click the link Below to hear the Jag!!!! |

Evo pits Jaguar XKR-S vs. Mercedes SL63 AMG in heavyweight droptop fight
Wed, 12 Mar 2014We recently received the sad news that the Jaguar XK is ceasing production by the end of the year, but what better way to bid it farewell than with some big, smoky powerslides? The retirement of the sporty GT isn't actually the topic of the latest video from Evo - it's on hand to compete against the Mercedes-Benz SL63 AMG to see which is faster around a track. Still, we can think of it as a wonderful sendoff for the Jag.
Both convertible grand tourers get their laps around the course, and they couldn't be more different. Driver Jethro Bovingdon gets some grins out of them both, but absolutely giggles while behind the wheel of the XKR-S convertible. The SL63 AMG is the more powerful of the two, but as we know, that doesn't always matter at a racetrack. You'll just have to scroll down and watch the video to see which of them is actually the winner.
Jaguar releases Desire short film starring F-Type and Damian Lewis
Wed, 24 Apr 2013After stoking the hype with a theatrical-style trailer, Jaguar has finally released the full-length version of its mini-movie, Desire, to help kick off the new 2014 Jaguar F-Type. Starring Homeland actor Damian Lewis across from the lovely Shannyn Sossamon, the film has been turned loose on YouTube after an initial debut at the Sundance London film and music festival.
Shot in Chile's rather breathtaking Atacama Desert, Desire is described by the producers as being "A story of betrayal, retribution, passion and greed." Lewis plays the lead role of Clark, a high-end car delivery guy (great work if you can get it), who runs into an unexpected, sexy mystery when shuttling the lovely F-Type to the middle of nowhere. Who could have guessed?
We won't spoil any of the not-exactly-serious 13-minute plot for you; scroll down below to see for yourself if the theatrical pomp and circumstance is worthy of Jag's newest roadster.
50th Anniversary Porsche 911 vs. Jaguar F-Type Coupe is a battle of beauty, brawn
Fri, 13 Jun 2014There can't really be a loser between the Jaguar F-Type Coupe R and the Porsche 911 50th Anniversary Edition. One might be better than the other, but if you're behind the wheel of either of them, you can't complain. In a new video, Motor Trend takes on the difficult task of determining which one of these European powerhouses is the best, not just in terms of raw performance, but also how they actually feel to drive.
The Porsche 911 is one of the perennial favorites of the motoring world. It just doesn't go away and always seems capable of challenging the top vehicles in its class. In this video, Motor Trend takes a look at the 50th Anniversary Edition model that celebrates that heritage while boosting power somewhat over the standard version.
The F-Type Coupe is an incredibly masculine car, MT describing it as "a British Corvette." The coupe's exterior lines are tautly stretched over its athletic body, and it's supercharged 5.0-liter V8 sounds like a demon's growl. Jaguar seems to have things right with its latest sports car.
